Subject: [char-misc-next 0/3] mei: bus: null derefence in rx

Fix race in receive callback for drivers on me client
bus, that results in null dereferencing and improve
the error handling.
The first patch 'mei: protect mei_cl_mtu from null dereference'
itself is sufficient to prevent the failure and is intended
for stable.


Alexander Usyskin (3):
mei: protect mei_cl_mtu from null dereference
mei: bus: do not start a read for disconnected clients
mei: bus: deinitialize callback functions on init failure

From: Alexander Usyskin <[email protected]>

A receive callback is queued while the client is still connected
but can still be called after the client was disconnected. Upon
disconnect cl->me_cl is set to NULL, hence we need to check
that ME client is not-NULL in mei_cl_mtu to avoid
null dereference.

From: Alexander Usyskin <[email protected]>

Avoid queuing reads and registering rx callbacks in
case the client is not connected, to prevent null
dereferencing and memory leaks.

Subject: [char-misc-next 3/3] mei: bus: deinitialize callback functions on init failure

From: Alexander Usyskin <[email protected]>

If the initialization procedure for receive or receive callback
registration on the client bus has failed the caller can't re-run it.
Deinitilize the callback pointers and cancel the work
to allow the caller to retry.
